Julie walked up the porch of Jeff's house nervously with Kyle in her hands.
"Jeff, I don't think I can do this," she said as she was getting ready to turn around. Jeff grabbed her arm before she could.
"Don't worry Julz. They'll love you. Please just do it for me." He said as he unlocked the door and held it so she could go in. Julie sighed and walked slowly into the house.
"Dad, Matt where are you? I want you to meet someone." Jeff yelled as he walked into the house.
"We're in the living room." Matt yelled.
Julie and Jeff walked into the room. "Dad, Matt this is my girlfriend Julie and her son Kyle."
Matt and Gilbert briefly looked at Jeff and then turned to Julie and hugged her. "Nice to meet you" Gilbert said as nicely as he could.
"Nice to meet you too" Julie smiled.
Jeff looked at Julie. "Come on. I'll show you around." He then led her to the back door and took her outside. Julie gasped at the size of the yard.
How far back does it go?" she asked tilting her head.
Jeff laughed. "I don't know the exact measurements but it is pretty big. Come on I'll show you."
They walked around for a while and ended up at the end of the yard where the fence was. Jeff leaned against the fence and turned to Julie. "What's wrong?" he asked noticing she was uncomfortable.
"Nothing."
"Come on Julz tell me."
She sighed and began to speak. "I just noticed how your dad and brother looked at you when they saw Kyle. Told you they wouldn't like the fact that your girlfriend had a kid already."
Jeff took Kyle out of her hands. "I don't care what people think. I love this kid and I love you. What do you say we head back?"
"I guess."
As they were walking back tot he house Matt and Gilbert were having a conversation.
"So what do you think about Julie?" Gilbert asked
"She seems nice but I'm not to sure about her. I mean Jeff isn't ready to take care of a kid because his mother was a slut." He said harshly.
"Wait a minute Matt. You don't know the story so don't go and start something."
"Whatever dad."
Just then Julie and Jeff walked in. Gilbert saw Jeff walk in with the baby and smiled. "Hey Jeff can I talk to you for a minute?" he asked his son.
"Sure dad." "Julie I'll be right back."
"Okay"
Jeff met his father in the living room with Kyle still in his hands. "What's up dad? He asked as he sat down.
"Nothing much. I just wanted to talk to you about Julie and the baby."
"Okay, start talking."
"Do you know what you're getting into. I mean have you thought about the father of the baby. He might not like the fact that someone else might be raising his kid. He might go after you or he co… "
Jeff interrupted his father before he could finish. "What are you talking about? Kyle doesn't have a father. He's not in his life."
"So what Matt said was true? She's a slut?"
By this time Jeff was mad at Matt for what he had said about his girlfriend. And he was mad at his dad for even thinking the same thing but he tried to be calm.
"No dad. She was raped." Gilbert's mouthed dropped when he heard this. He looked at Kyle and then to his feet. "I'm sorry son."
"It's okay dad just don't tell anyone. She doesn't really want everyone to know."
"Okay." Gilbert said as they walked back to Julie and Matt.
When they walked in they saw Matt and Julie talking. He saw that Julie looked like she had glass eyes.
"Julz can we talk?"
"Yeah, sure." She said as she got up.
They walked out the door with Kyle. "Okay what happened?" he asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Julz, you look like you were about to cry. What did Matt say?"
"He was just saying that you shouldn't…you shou…you shouldn't be going out with a slut like me. That just because I slept around doesn't mean you should need to raise my baby." She said in between sobs.
Jeff's eyes grew wide when he heard this. Julie saw how mad he got. "Jeff it's okay. It doesn't matter. I'll live."
"No Julz! He should've never said that" he said getting angrier. "Here." He said as he gave the baby to Julie and ran inside.
Jeff yelled at Matt. "What the hell do you think you're doing? You had no right to say that. You don't even know the story!"
Matt looked at Jeff and didn't say a word.
"You going to say something?" he yelled again.
"I…I…"
*Author's note- Want to hear Matt's explanation? Got to stay tuned to find out. Oh yeah, next week I'm gonna try something new but only for one week. I'm going to put 2 chapters up every other day. Anyway please R & R.
